"Believe in yourself, that is all the currency you need to fund your dream"
Ingrid Fioroni was raised by a single mom who worked multiple jobs as she grew up. Ingrid vowed to herself that she would always be a ‘present’ parent that would be active in her children’s school activities as well as make homemade dinners. Ingrid was determined to defy stereotypes of being a young Latina woman with children. At the young age of 24, she opened her first business as a Cellular Wholesale International Broker.
Her success in the industry over the course of ten years lead her to invest in real estate. She grew a passion for refurbishing homes and renting them out. By 31, she found herself in the position of being a single mom with 5 kids. That lead her down a path of shifting focus from the cellular industry to her properties that she developed similar to the model of Air BnB today. This pivot gave her the freedom to be a present parent, sticking to her dreams and developing more businesses along the way that ranged from meal prep to a card your yard franchise.
Ingrid is the epitome of a serial entrepreneur and a woman that is always ready to pivot for the sake of her and her children's quality of life.
